Thrifty Car Rental

Thrifty Car Rental is owned by Dollar-Thrifty Automotive Group, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, founded in 1958. Thrifty Rent a Car is one of the largest car rental companies currently in operation, and is also one of the most widely recognized brands in the world, with more than 1,028 locations in 68 countries. You'll find a great rate on a great car rental at more than 300 conveniently located sites throughout the US, including many at or near major airports, with free shuttle and pick-up service. Thrifty guarantees the best rental rates, offering to match any competitor's rates and give you an extra 10% off.

Thrifty Car Rental has teamed up with some premier airline and hotel partners to offer customers some great rewards, such as frequent flyer miles and hotel points. The Blue Chip Rewards Program gives customers a free rental day at Thrifty or additional airline miles if they prefer, after accumulating 16 rental days. The Blue Chip Express Rental Program is Thrifty's free program that expedites a customer's rental process at most locations in the US and Canada. The system is specialized for business travelers who need a quick pickup, but is also used for tourists and frequent local renters. Thrifty Business Programs provide business travelers with a variety of value-oriented programs to fit their travel needs.

Thrifty offers a large selection of vehicles from luxury to compact, minivans for vacations, SUVs for weekend getaways or economy models for extra spending money. The company primarily rents Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles within the US, though some locations feature other popular brands, such as Mazda, Nissan, or Toyota. To be eligible for a Thrifty rent a car you must be at least 21 years of age (except government workers on official business), and renters under the age of 25 will be subject to a daily surcharge. Outside the US, minimum and maximum rental ages vary by country. As a general rule, a major credit card is required at the time of rental, however, when you may be allowed to use a debit or check card to rent in many US locations.
